Our Holiday Wish List:
Another Human Milk Pasteurizer!
It's the second week of Prematurity Awareness Month and Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas (MMBNT) just launched a new fundraising campaign called "Feed More Preemies". Proceeds from the campaign will pay for an additional human milk pasteurizer and enable the milk bank to process 15% more donor milk and serve hundreds of more sick babies every month. We need $29,000.00 to reach our goal.
Pasteurizers designed specifically for human milk preserve immunological properties while destroying potential harmful viruses and bacteria. Donor milk has become the standard of care for premature infants who have severe feeding problems, intestinal malformations and life threatening complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis. As a result, MMBNT continues to experience significant growth each year.
Currently, we serve over 100 hospital NICUs in Texas and 12 other states. In 2014, MMBNT dispensed a record 441,295 ounces and is on track to process over 500,000 ounces in 2015.
